As youal know by now I have attmeted and failed to get Solaris working on my Hp Pavilion 16230n, However I was seaching around the net and I remembered reading about Minix, SomI have decided to giv Minix A try or My UNIX system.

My question is does Minix support Sata out of he Box or Am i going to have to hand compile (not a Problem) drivers from ground zero?

My SATA drive doesn't work with MINIX
MINIX 3 does actually have SATA support, but we've seen problems if they're set to "Enhanced" (sometimes called "Native") mode. Try changing the setting to "Legacy" or "Combined" in BIOS.
